Bible (ASV) 10: 2 Samuel
'Bible (ASV) 10: 2 Samuel' Summary
The Books of Samuel tell the story of the transition from the period of the Judges to the establishment of the monarchy in Israel. It begins with Samuel, a prophet and judge, anointing Saul as the first king of Israel. However, Saul's disobedience to God's commands leads to his rejection. David, a young shepherd, is chosen by God to be the next king. He defeats Goliath, becomes a celebrated warrior, and eventually, after years of exile and struggle, is crowned king. The book recounts David's rise to power, his trials, and his successes, culminating in the unification of the tribes of Israel under his reign. The Books of Samuel also highlight the complexities of leadership, the consequences of sin, and the importance of faith in God.Book Details
